Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

所有的其他一切都很好，就是故事真的太老套了。
这个剧本实在是…但是疫情期间能看到这样一部中二华丽的跑酷动画实属开心～
任何唯美的故事都要讲一个理由。多问自己为什么可以解释很多东西，在这里我真想打烂编剧的狗头，这他妈讲的是个什么东西！你的剧情和你的立意有他妈一毛钱关系！
老虚可以滚了！赶紧的！！！小日本引以为傲的动画片被你拍成这样，呵呵，那小日本动画真要完蛋了！荒木也是接剧本时不看看是谁在当编剧！
跑酷的设定让我想起某个末日打棒球的动画？但咱就是说，你都危险跑酷了，能不能人物健硕点啊？
本来想给两星，一星给动画特效。日本人能不能心理健康一点，喜欢这种残破美，也没什么剧情感，就跑酷
You know what，这片子给我一种设定想学汤浅，故事想学新海诚，炫技想学普罗米亚，但是没有一样学到及格的水平~
这么多大佬只挂了个名是吧，新海诚式电影最重要的不是精致的画面，是细腻的感情。完美诠释什么叫空有其表，剧情烂透了
故事很烂，情不知所起，一往而深，再而破碎…一星给Eve的片头曲，一星给WIT优秀的动作镜头作画，一星陷落的东京默哀……
人鱼公主的内核套了一个在泡泡世界跑酷的故事，平铺直叙，没有什么起伏。真是浪费了这么多卡司了，唯一值得称赞的是动作场面……
可能最近幽灵线东京玩多了，这种末世东京看着蛮顺眼的，所以你要问我体操加末日跑酷有没有搞头， 再加上一个外星歌姬，一个声障儿童，几个研究员来当爹当妈，当然有搞头嘞。
一直在cue人鱼公主的故事但真的好俗，安徒生看到你们这么捏他都要气活了吧
主旨是：不要靠近男人，会变得不幸（
我的观点是还不如新海诚呢，这堆泡泡到底是为什么来地球啊？？？
6.5分。画面有多漂亮，故事就有多拉跨。完全不输新海诚的画面效果，各种特写更是强大到爆，绝对是2D动画巅峰的水准。再配合全片跑酷的镜头设计，拉出来一两段集锦的话绝对精彩。但这编剧是虚渊玄。。。。这人鱼公主的故事纯粹就是摆设嘛。基本感觉就是几个画画的大佬画HIGH了，琢磨着咱也整个电影吧，顺便给画面搞个故事凑合下就完了~~~
配乐和作画质量都无可挑剔，几首bgm都蛮好听的，但是剧情内核就实在太平庸了，人物动机塑造的也不够立体。
"三体之水体公主"..."只有向智子输出人类文明才能拯救地球"..."万物起源是H2O"...WIT这连音效都是立体机动...
技术力是有了，作画很漂亮，但就是一点也喜欢不起来。很多看了像吃苍蝇一样的桥段，看内核的话根本就是落后于时代的作品。
果然，画面越美，配乐越棒的日漫，大多都难逃剧情的坑，槽点简直多到让我不想吐槽......但是，霸权社的制作真的不得不夸，美到爆炸的画面和巨好听的配乐搭配上极度顺畅的“立体机动”，的确是一场动漫的视听盛宴（前提是要自己能够忽略掉许多无语剧情细节）
期待很久了，看了就无语•᷄ࡇ•᷅，新瓶装老酒就算了，这剧情就有点太幼儿了，完全没有海的女儿原本人性刻画的细腻；女主的腿、手、脸满是泡泡的时候，真是看着没有美感……密恐了(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)
